If you are trapped in an armored car in the South come September, then you are bound to sweat. Chock it up to the glory of making movies, and actor Josh Wiggins talked to Deepest Dream about the joys cand challenges of making “Armor.” The first rate ensemble includes Jason Patric, Sylvester Stallone, and Dash Mihok. If you are looking for a straight ahead action thriller with A-level actors, “Armor” should do the trick! Check out my interview with Wiggins below!
Directed, written, and produced by Kelsey Egan, “The Fix” centers on Ella (Grace Van Dien), a model whose life is transformed after taking an all powerful drug at a party. These mutations are one of a kind, and Ella is looking for a “fix” to cure her condition. Egan, who previously directed “Glasshouse,” talked to Deepest Dream about “The Fix,” screenwriting, and how South Africa shaped her as a filmmaker.
The mythic tale of Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes) has previously been captured in cinema. Kirk Douglas starred as the King in the 1954 feature Ulysses, and now Fiennes takes on the iconic part. Juliette Binoche, his co-star in “The English Patient,” plays Odysseus’ beleaguered wife Penelope.
